Luxury Holidays to Northern Patagonia: the Detail

As the name suggests, the Lake District in Northern Patagonia -
which stretches across the mountains into the mirror image in Chile
- is a land of sparkling bodies of blue water, with a backdrop of
snow-dusted volcanoes and, dependent on the season, carpets of
wildflowers completing the picture. This is a gentle entrée into
Northern Patagonia; sunny, picturesque and ideal for gentle walks
and taking photographs from the many panoramic viewpoints atop
hills and volcanoes. In winter, this is good skiing territory, with
Cerro Catedral one of the country's top resorts.

Bariloche is the best holiday base for exploration of the
national parks and stunning scenery of this region, and as such is
one of the more tourist-orientated centres in Argentina, but accept
that and you'll enjoy it nonetheless.

Further north, in Neuquén province, the landscape around the
town of San Martin de los Andes is more rugged and this is home to
gauchos, estancias, and superb riding and fly fishing.

A note on price

Like many of its neighbours, Argentina is a large country and so much of the expense in travelling here lies in flying domestically. Hotels, lodges and estancias range from rustic to super-luxe, so it’s possible to arrange holidays catering for all budgets. A two-week trip would start from roughly £3,500 per person including international flights. Learn more about our pricing

Top picks for Northern Patagonia

Running between the Chilean lakes towns of Puerto Varas or Puerto Montt and the Argentinian counterpart; Bariloche, the trip across lakes and borders includes several different modes of transport as the roads and lakes weave their way directly through the mountains. No chance to get bored, and even the kids won’t ask if you’re nearly there yet, as you swap the bus for a catamaran and do the same in reverse when you’re back on solid ground again.
